"Wild people are beautiful children in the forest.
When Almighty God created this world, He not only created mankind but also gave everything to animals and birds. He hoped that man would take care of everything because he was the best, and would save nature as God's messenger! But oh God, The selfish, greedy human species has been intoxicated with arbitrariness day after day, has destroyed forests at arbitrary rates, and even helpless animals have not been spared from its destruction!
Wildlife is in danger in the forest today! Three years ago today, in the jungles of Maharashtra, a notorious tiger named "Abani" (T1) died at the hands of some of these destructive people. Nature-loving common people were vocal in protest. Director Amit Masurkar has made this film "Sherni" in the shadow of that "Abani" trunk!
In the light of the incident I mentioned, you must know the direction of the story. Here is a little story. Here T1 is T12 and the director in the lead role is an honest and fearless female forest officer. The main premise of this film is to show him the way and take him back to the forest with the child.
After a long time, I saw a mainstream Bollywood film which can be seen with the whole family and which is also very instructive! Even though it is made in the shadow of "Abani" Kand, Masurkar has a lot of his own inputs. A documentary on tiger conservation could have been cheaper if it had been a little sideways! But Mr. Masurkar did not give it a chance. Besides raising wildlife, he has raised many small and big issues.
1. The plight of marginalized people who depend on the forest
2. Harassment of political office and qualified junior officer of the government department
3. Promotion of Ladkhor Senior Officer by stepping down from a political party
4. Propaganda of media and provocative propaganda to the people
5. Physical harassment of government officials
The director has made all this a part of the screenplay in a very short range. All in all, he has successfully made the film stand out as a complete and neat story. Added to this is the skillful management whose signature is his previous film "Newton".
Acting as a great asset. The main character is Bollywood's one-time lady superstar Vidya Balan in the role of Forest Officer Vincent. He did it and at the right time, he came to the end of the film and shone just like "Sherni". So the question remains who is the real Sherni in this film?
T12 Na Vidya Vincent who can make two words to the superior authorities for misbehavior, who can tear up the written resignation letter and run away with a sigh for the purpose of saving the children of Sherni!
I will name Vijay Raj in the role of Professor Nurani later. He is a nature lover and a selfless person who does not care about his name. Neeraj Kabi is brilliant in the role of Kalra or vengeful senior officer Nangia even in his short presence.
Probably the most notable feature of this film is its cinematography. Extraordinary but less said. DOP has brought comfort to the eyes of people who have been under house arrest for a long time. The jungle sunset, the various close-up macro shots really deserve praise. The background music is fine. And setting the camera trap to catch the tiger and other details is also commendable!
In the end, this picture emphasizes the need for the coexistence of nature, the jungle, and human beings. It teaches us to be sympathetic towards animals.
